W​ho's using WeVu? And How?

Selkirk College Nursing

I actually just did the WeVu set up and think I have created the assignment myself. This program is really slick!

I’ve always tried to use presentations in my graduate seminars as a way to develop teaching and research presentation skills. WeVu allows me to more actively mentor graduate students in their presentation and teaching skills with detailed notes and questions, leaving valuable seminar time for discussion and analysis of bigger questions.

We enjoyed very much using WeVu last semester, in particular with the Conducting class. It was an ideal format for making comments on student-submitted videos, and we took advantage of that all the way through the semester. I also used my Wind Ensemble & Concert Band sites in WeVu on a couple of video projects and results there were also positive.

This is a fantastic way for students to review their own playing and for professors to give highly specific feedback.

I am really satisfied with WeVu and my students love it. It offers a lot of possibilities in the classroom. I would love to use it again next academic year.

I think the program is great and would like to give it another go.

I think WeVu is a really good device, especially for learning conducting. I am glad my professor decided to use this system. THANK YOU very much for designing and bringing this interface to university learning!

This really helped my game, and my confidence. Sometimes I think my 'real' coach doesn't understand me. My WeVu coach gave me three important things to work on and it really paid off.

I see video as a key strategy for motivating students and helping them to be exposed to both great performances and feedback on their own playing.

WeVu has been a remarkable asset in my conducting classroom! The students are able to dive in deeply to assess every detail of their conducting technique and comment on it in a very specific way. As their teacher, the ability to ask direct questions and give specific feedback is invaluable!

Future teachers are asked to give mini lessons. Usually you have your peers comment during the class but you can learn much more if you have a video of what you have done. You can learn even more if you and your peers can comment on the video.

A great tool because it allows both recording of student speech and precise feedback through the annotation tool.

This allowed me to create a presentation that I did not have to present in front of an entire class. I could record it at home, which meant I did not have to find childcare for my son, which I would have if we had presented in office hours. I still got the practice and feedback from my prof.

Dr. Kate Power
Lecturer, Communication and Rhetoric

U Queensland Business

I have successfully used WeVu in several undergraduate courses, both to promote student engagement in reviewing each other’s in-class presentations, and to provide my own feedback to students on those same presentations. Using WeVu noticeably increased not only the quantity but also the quality of commentary students gave and received, and enabled me to give more precise feedback tailored to specific moments in the presentation. I warmly recommend it.

Colleen DuManoir
Nursing Lab and Sim Coordinator

UBC Okanagan School of Nursing

At UBC-O School of Nursing, we used the system to record, share and annotate our mental health simulations amongst students and staff, and immediately recognized that this system was superior to any existing simulation recording software!

Jeff Hanlon
Guitar Professor

Queen's University Music

'They were happier; I was happier.' I used WeVu with a guitar class. Two tests were on WeVu. A great deal of class time was saved for instruction instead of summative assessment.Some students tend not to perform well in front of others. Allowing uploads removed the nervousness factor.Students can record many takes and submit their best performances through WeVu. So I can set higher standards for their performances. It is much easier to give detailed feedback through WeVu than during an in-class session.

I allowed students to submit videos well before deadlines. I was able to assess and give feedback on their submissions within a day, allowing them to re-record, re-submit before the deadline and obtain higher grades. They were happier; I was happier.

Dominik Stecula
Instructor

UBC Political Science

I was very impressed with the student discussion on the video. Many students told me they enjoyed that component of the course. I think that part of it was that the videos were pretty fun, but part of it was that even the shy students who have a hard time speaking in a class of 60 could contribute there.

It is a great tool, especially in situations when there is no time for talk.

WeVu is for learning skills.Lots of different kinds of skills.

In language learning

- in person or distance - students can all practice speaking on their own at home, recording the audio in the app. Then they get feedback as text and audio from their teachers. Thousands of students learn languages with WeVu.

For presentations​learners and trainees self-record as they role-play or present. First, they watch themselves and reflect. Then they get feedback. People are using it to practice legal arguments in a moot court, to answer sales objections, and to present academic research or business pitches and plans.

In Music and Theatre

students record and watch themselves playing or conducting and get comments from the professor as well as from other players in an ensemble. Any students making videos for classes can collaborate and then get feedback on what they’ve made. For private music teaching, students upload clips of their mid-week practice so teachers see that they're actually practicing.

In Nursing

and other health professions, students practice or do simulations in groups, upload their video, and get comments on the video timeline from their instructors. They’re using it for patient assessments and clinical skills simulations. Fast improvement and more confidence.

WeVu does a lot more than video playback

these are just some of WeVu's amazing features

Simply put: WeVu is built for people to give feedback easily and effectively

WeVu is also a powerful, all-purpose video management system for your program, college, school, university, or business.

but...

We care more that learners are practicing and getting feedback. The fact that WeVu does old-fashioned watch-and-learn video (with all kinds of fancy engagement analytics) is just a bonus.
